I’m going to be in the kitchen a lot this week. The weather is cool and perfect for baking.

Today I’ve baked a batch of Yellow Cupcakes and I got to use my belated Anniversary gift to decorate them. James ordered me a Betty Crocker Cake Decorating kit, and I had a fun time trying to decorate the cupcakes. I even got ambitious and made homemade Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. I need a bit more practice, but I don’t think that the boy’s will mind the extra treats. I also baked 3 loaves of bread, one for the fridge, one for the freezer, and a tiny one for my Mom.

Tomorrow the baking continues. I volunteered to help bring breakfast for MOPS on Friday, and I’m planning on making three dozen muffins. I’m bringing three varieties of Oatmeal Muffins for the meeting. I’m thinking about baking regular Oatmeal muffins, Oatmeal Raisin Muffins, and Cranberry Oatmeal Muffins too. Not all of them might make it to the meeting though, we might have to try a few of them out.

I think on Friday I’ll restock the cookies with a batch of No-bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies for the boy’s, and I might even throw a Chocolate Bundt Cake in the oven for the weekend.
